HIPAA and the HITECH Act are U.S. laws that govern the security and privacy of individually identifiable health information stored or processed electronically. This information is referred to as electronic protected health information (ePHI). HIPAA refers to healthcare providers, payors and clearinghouses that use or process ePHI as covered entities. Under HIPAA and the HITECH Act, covered entities must implement mandated physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect ePHI. Certain service providers that store or process ePHI on behalf of covered entities are called business associates. Covered entities must ensure that their business associates implement similar security and privacy safeguards.?
